Fitness expert and artist Nawaz Modi Singhania couldn’t be more elated — her little baby girl, the new bundle of joy in her life, arrived on February 6th. With her second baby by her side, we wouldn’t be surprised if all mommy wishes to do is gloat over her! Nawaz’s joyfulness is almost contagious, as she gushes about the newborn.
“She’s doing great and I feel like a million bucks. My home is full. My heart is full,” she quips when asked about how she feels. The response only seems natural.
Earlier too, during the course of her pregnancy, Nawaz was at ease. About her impending mommyhood then, she had said, “It’s a very special time in a woman’s life. So I’m just enjoying it!” Now, second motherhood has been more relaxed, she admits. “It feels fantastic. I’m calmer and more relaxed than the first time around,” says Nawaz.
It’s easy to understand her happiness would only be multiplied with the entire family being in a celebratory mood. Husband, industrialist Gautam Singhania and elder daughter Niharika couldn’t be happier. So what was their first reaction on seeing the new family member? “Oh, she was over the moon! My husband was thrilled. He couldn’t stop cooing over her. It was the sweetest sight!” she exclaims. They say the younger child is often the most pampered one. Does she attest to this idea? “No. Often this is not so,” she asserts.
Ask her who the baby resembles — mommy or papa — and Nawaz confesses it’s hard to tell. “It’s too soon to tell. As it is she’s born five weeks early, and they keep changing so rapidly at this stage.” Although a name for the baby hasn’t been decided as of yet, she says, it will be soon. “It’s on the anvil right now. The birth certificate is held up as a result of us not having concluded on a name,” says Nawaz.
